[quote=Anonymous]In these circumstances I might  call the elder protective services in his area but be prepared that this will further sever the relationship because he will guess it was you.  
It’s terrible.

I know someone whose step father almost certainly killed her mother.  She ended up in a decade long private fight with him—not really because she wanted the money but wanted to be sure he didn’t get it.  He was abusive anc the mother was considering divorce; he was fully financially dependent on the mother who then died in very suspicious circumstances.  He then challenged the will leaving money to my friend, and she had to spend a ton of money just to fight that.

I know someone else whose dad married a truly awful crazy person who totally alienated the kids, and then didn’t even tell them he had died.  They kept trying to check in on him and finally she said “stop calling — he died 6 months ago.”  This was someone with a significant career, two children, grandchildren and there was no memorial service at all.  They have no idea what she did with the body.

Those circumstances were different because the parent married these awful people when they were still in full possession of their faculties ….. not clear that this is the case for OP’s dad.

Is there no one that lives closer?  This is really hard when there’s no one that lives close by.  I might also consider taking time off work to go try and spend tome with him.  Play very nice so you can get in and susd put the situation maybe?  [/quote]
